A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).

If I run across a broken Böker with a good set of scales I'll clue you in. Thanks for sharing!!

Cal: There's still a lot of life left in that knife. You will be amazed at the quality of metal the blades have.

I am sure that you are correct; I carry a 1950s Solingen Boker stockman and I love the way the blades sharpen and cut. I would never take one molecule off this old one; I love the bone; it is beautiful. So far I have not seen the really good old Bokers on ebay; they must be passing on another venue. Out here in the Rocky Mountain West, there are no flea markets and no knife shows. If you want a rifle, here is the place to buy, but knives? Nope.
